If you consider the "outlet pipe" the drain pipe you need to tune the water off before you flush it, take as much water out of the bowl area as possible with a cup, unhook water tube from under side, unbolt the toilet from the floor (bolt on each side) clean old wax ring away, replace with new wax ring (bought from HW store) carefully set toilet back in place, replace and tighten bolts down to floor, re attach water line, turn water back on, check for leaks, and give it a trial run!!

A defective flush valve causes the leak in toilets. A flush valve is a flap or ball plunger device that is supposed to act as a stopper in the bottom of the toilet tank. So to fix your toilet and save water, get any professional plumber to repair the valve or complete replacement kit .

You might just need to tighten the bolts holding it down, but probably either one of them has broken or the floor flange broke. If tightening the nuts holding the toilet down doesn't help, you will have to move the toilet so you can look at the floor flange. If the flange is broke where the bolt goes, there are a couple of ways to repair it. There is a crescent shaped piece about 4 inches long that goes under the old flange and gives you a new place for the bolt to catch or a complete steel ring can be installed over the old flange.

The input valve is faulty. You have to change it.
